About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my orde...

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's square footage first, then figure closer to 2 inches for groundcover areas and 3 inches near foundations where you want better coverage. Most Seaford front yards run one to three cubic yards depending on how much lawn is being converted to rock.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

Landscape fabric underneath is worth the extra step, especially in sandy soil where weeds still find their way up without a barrier. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating onto the lawn during heavy rain, which matters near Seaford's low elevation and flat drainage patterns. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in planting beds nearby, using rock only where nothing organic is growing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Seaford's sandy loam, skip skimping on fabric. Sandy soil shifts more than clay when it rains hard, and without a solid barrier, rock will slowly work its way down into the soil over a few seasons, leaving thin spots that need topping off. Use a heavier landscape fabric, overlap seams by several inches, and pin it every couple feet, especially along bed edges where foot traffic or runoff concentrates.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake in coastal towns like Seaford is putting rock too close to plantings that want organic matter. Rock traps fallen leaves instead of breaking them down, and over a full season those leaves mat down and smother the stone's drainage benefit. Reserve rock for foundation lines, downspout aprons, and true groundcover zones, and keep it out of perennial beds where soil needs to breathe and feed itself.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to size the order right the first time rather than ordering light and topping off later at a different price point. Pair rock zones with a mulch bed elsewhere on the property, that way you are not overbuying stone for areas that would actually benefit more from organic material breaking down into Seaford's sandy loam.

Decorative Stone in Seaford

Seaford's sandy loam already drains well, so rock beds here rarely sit wet the way they might in heavier soils further inland. That same sandy base means fabric anchoring matters, loose sand can let edging shift over a season or two if you skip a proper barrier. With the South Shore's salt air and coastal wind, decorative stone holds its color better than mulch, which bleaches and breaks down faster this close to the water. It works well along foundations and in the low-maintenance front beds common in this part of Nassau County.

What Landscape Rock Is

Landscape rock is stone chosen for how it looks as much as what it does. River rock is smooth and rounded, decomposed granite is fine and packs firm underfoot. Both are sold by the cubic yard for beds, borders, paths, and dry creek beds.

River Rock vs Decomposed Granite

River rock stays loose and rolls, so it suits beds, borders, and drainage runs where it can sit in place. Decomposed granite compacts into a firm surface, so it suits paths, patios, and anywhere you will walk or roll a wheelbarrow.

Depth and Coverage

Spread river rock 2 to 3 inches deep over landscape fabric so it stays put and weeds stay down. Lay decomposed granite 3 to 4 inches deep, wet it, and compact it in lifts for a surface that sheds water instead of rutting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will landscape rock wash out in heavy rain given how flat Seaford is?

Properly edged rock beds hold up fine even at Seaford's low elevation, the sandy loam underneath drains quickly so water does not pool and push stone around. The real risk is skipping edging entirely, without a border, rock can migrate toward the lowest point of the yard during a hard downpour.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot front bed?

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want 3 inch coverage near a foundation, plan on slightly more, closer to 2.5 yards for the same footprint.

Answer

Is spring or fall better for installing rock in Seaford?

Either works since rock is not tied to a growing season, but many people here install after the last frost in April once the ground has thawed and dried out from winter. Fall works too, right up until the first frost around mid November, as long as the soil is not saturated when you place fabric.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get to my backyard if I have a narrow side gate?

The truck places material at the driveway or curb, it cannot drive through a side gate. For backyard placement you will need to wheelbarrow it in, so let us know your access situation ahead of time so we can plan the drop spot accordingly.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better choice right against a foundation since it does not hold moisture against the house the way mulch can, and it will not need replacing for years. Mulch makes more sense a few feet out where you have shrubs or perennials that benefit from organic matter breaking into Seaford's sandy loam over time.
